We had a 3 1/2 year old female that was diagnosed with Valley Fever 3 months ago. Last week we finished the medication and she was to have a check up. The check up showed she had lost 7 pounds and in addition the liver, kidney and pancreas had test issues and the Vet kept her one night and gave her an IV fluid flush to get the current medication out of her system.
We received the call to come and get her yesterday at 4:pm as all the tests looked good for her to come home and we were given a different prescription to start today.
Last night she had looked very lethargic and laid around very weak and would not eat. She did drink water but vomited it back out with in 10 minutes or so. At 1:00 AM we took her to emergency as she was almost looking like she was in a coma. She died 15 minutes after we were at ER. It looks like DIC from the bruising and we new nothing about that.
For you who may not know read up. It is within the blood system and the issue of blood vessel clotting after there is a first line of a traumatic problem has occurred in our case Valley Fever which attacks the immune system then this can follow as a secondary concern. Simply is accelerates the clotting in the blood vessels and the animal can't get blood circulation to the heart.
I am 47 years old an this animal has effected my life more than any human could ever in my life time. I hope anyone that reads this has the same everlasting love for this breed.
Our family loved this dog and we are in the most difficult place to be today. Grieving
I Love you Peanut with all my heart
Mom and Dad

Hold the good thoughts,,,,
close to your heart. It is a tough thing to lose such a precious creature. We never call ours dogs anymore, we call them our girl, our boy, or the kids. They mean that much to us. My son, who got us started in bulldogs, says that if he, one of our babies and I were mugged on the street, we would both risk it all to protect the bulldog. We do know your pain, as we recently lost one of our 4 month old babies to GDV. Yes! They do affect your life and every aspect of it. Our family feels blessed to be given the oppurtunity to love and be loved by them.
Perserverance isn't a long race.
It's a series of short races,
ran one after the other.

hope is in the future
If you bulldog families know true love for this breed our " Peanut" was a perfect family member. It has been 20 days since she passed away suddenly. We have missed her everyday and have come to the conclusion that she would want our family to love another as we loved her. My wife and I went from Phoenix to Portland to bring a new special bully "Sofie" in to our lives. We have had her only for 5 days and what a beautiful puppy of only 8 weeks she is. Our pain of loss for our beautiful "Peanut" is still there but we feel her presence in our love for this new pup. We love you Peanut and think of her every day and in our short time here will miss you and will see you soon in our future home HEAVEN
Love Mom and Dad and Zach

Peanut passing
It has been a week today. We have had more than a difficult week. You never know if these Vets are really thinking when they direct our thinking on care. I feel in my heart there were other alternatives.
Today we feel a tremendous loss that only a bulldog owner could imagine. We have the unique understanding of this dog as all of you do. They are not the pretty puppy in the corner but a woven part of your everyday life. Anyone to have had one knows there is a spirit in this animal and a true expression of love in there everyday life. I feel blessed to have had the experience of true love with our bully Peanut. May she not rest in peace yet but enjoy all of the life she has in Heaven first.
Her pictures are up the list for anyone that would like to see her
Thank all of you for your kind words and thoughts.

We think of you everyday
Peanut, we are just 2 days from three months since you passed away. We miss you so very much. It is nearly impossible to understand the relationship between an animal and a human. I know we knew you in such a different way, almost human like. I hope your soul is resting in peace everyday. I can't express the feelings we have for you. I struggle looking at your pictures to keep myself together, but know you hear and feel my pain for the loss of our realitionship on earth and will be re united in heaven when you come over the Rainbow Bridge to Heaven.
We will never forget you and miss you very much
Love Mom and Dad
